AppLayer

AppLayer, formerly SparqNet, is a C++-based Ethereum scaling network where developers deploy both Solidity smart contracts and C++ stateful precompiles, with the project claiming the latter run about 65 times faster than on mainstream Golang-based EVM networks. Its current positioning centers on AI agent governance: each agent gets explicit permissions, budgets and approval rules, every step from request to payment is recorded onchain with signed proofs, and humans keep the right to halt or override. The AppLayer Engine execution layer runs on testnet, while the control plane and Rule Builder console target teams that pair AI workers with shared treasuries.

Architecturally it splits into execution, control and interface layers: the engine runs ordinary EVM apps and fast C++ programs, onchain rule contracts record roles, steps and spending authority, and the front end connects votes and repeatable jobs to payment, closing the gap in typical DAOs where voting sets goals but execution stays manual. Early documentation keeps fully onchain games and chain abstraction modules, showing the same execution layer serves both gaming and agent workloads, with the pitch that tamper-proof rules rather than process documents constrain how money moves.
